Translated as “magical movements,” the practices of Tibetan yoga can improve physical strength and support positive emotional and mental health, healing the body-energy-mind system and instilling a full sense of awareness and harmony.
An Educational and Experiential Introduction.

While yoga has become a common practice for health and well-being, the ancient tools of Tibetan yoga remained secret for centuries. Translated as “magical movements,” the practices of Tibetan yoga can improve physical strength and support positive emotional and mental health, healing the body-energy-mind system and instilling a full sense of awareness and harmony.
In his new book Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being: The Science and Practice of Healing Your Body, Energy and Mind, Alejandro Chaoul, PhD focuses on the five principal breath-energies of Tibetan medicine and yoga and how special body movements for each engage the five chakras in our body.
Alejandro will share his experiences of daily practice in different settings and cultures, with a focus on simplicity, accessibility, and ease that will help remove any obstacles to well-being in our lives. He will also provide a contextual understanding of the history and lineage of Tibetan yoga to help us incorporate its ancient teachings into our modern lifestyle.
